How to Request a Home Visit
Please telephone Bower Mount Medical Practice before 10.30am if you are requesting a home visit. Patients are usually telephoned by their doctor prior to the visit to make an assessment as to the suitability and requirements during their visit. Please press option 2 on the phone.
Home visits are only for housebound patients who are too ill or frail to attend the surgery. (Transport responsibility remains with the patient).
Reasons For A Home Visit
